Why Choose Kinetrol Actuators?

Kinetrol pneumatic actuators are known around the world for their durability and smart design. At the core of the simple design is a single moving part. Actuators come with a visual position indicator, patented energy absorbent sideplates, and long-lasting lip seals. Kinetrol designed their actuator for a long, maintenance-free life, which makes this reliable rotary actuator a favourite among engineers and customers.

Kinetrol designed its modular family of products with hassle-free mounting in mind. Direct mounting modules such as fail-safe spring returns, limit switches and positioners eliminate the need for mounting kits. This makes Kinetrol modules and actuators a low cost, space saving design.

Actuator Features include:

• Long life – up to 4 million cycles
• Patented energy absorbent sideplates – maximizes efficiency and operating speeds
• Single shaft and vane with no cranks or gears in sight – eliminates fretting and power loss, smooth operation
• Cases are made from Zinc or Aluminium – light, corrosion resistant
